[Intro]
The thousand year brook, disrupted, dry
I killed our innocence, oh how I’ve wished to with it lie
[Verse 1]
Nerve-webbed energies spurring evolution, choosing and refusing for betterment of law
Sex split for unbiased preference, putting more at stake to make more intricate
Pushing ever deeper toward what once seemed inexistent, rewarding the triumphs and punishing the flaws
Collapse and expand, mirroring in hologram to reciprocate creation in the dreams of the intimate
[Verse 2]
Given permission to see through those eyes, now I'm a part of everything and everything's alive
The highest awareness, the warmest of light from this pulsing softness coursing with life
The scent so electric I drown its waves, to a soul's reflection in the contours of a face
A soul so familiar and fragile it pains, while the peace of our childhoods links us to every age
[Pre-Chorus]
The gift, a rite, the most sacred dance, while the voice of a mother blesses and confirms
A fortune was given beyond wildest chance, then the voice in my mind, "This you do not deserve"
And against all that's natural, beautiful and right, I wrenched out every feather of that angel from above
And as I stood the idiot-destroyer of light, the voice came true that warned, "You'll kill everything you love"
[Chorus]
This wasn't supposed to happen, I wasn't supposed to do this, I wasn't supposed to be here, I wasn't supposed to be this
This wasn't meant to happen, I wasn't meant to do this, I wasn't meant to be here, I wasn't meant to be this
This wasn't supposed to happen, I wasn't supposed to do this, I wasn't supposed to be here, I wasn't supposed to be this
This wasn't meant to happen, I wasn't meant to do this, I wasn't meant to be here, and now I don't exist
[Post-Chorus]
These words will fail their meanings, though are either way in vain
They won't point to something noble, but to dogma for its sake
And as my lower selves have risen, my merit's further stained
So I make this my denial of everything I'll say
